Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake

This is one of my favorite low fat dessert recipes. This and the Key Lime Pie satisfy most of my dessert cravings and they are gooooood.

Weight Watchers Recipe

6 squares (2 1/2 inches each) chocolate graham crackers made into crumbs

2 1/3 cups part-skim ricotta cheese

4 oz. nonfat cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 egg

3 tbsp. all-purpose flour

2 tbsp. Amaretto liqueur

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 300° F. Spray an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the cracker crumbs evenly over the bottom of the pan.

(If you don't have an 8-inch springform pan, make cheesecake in an 8-inch aluminum foil baking pan. Using a scissors, cut sides away before serving.)

In a blender or food processor, puree the ricotta and cream cheeses, sugar, cocoa, egg, flour, liqueur and vanilla; stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour the mixture over the crumbs. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1d hours. Cool completely on a rack. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled, at least 3 hours.
